The property has trash scattered outside and i'm afraid its going to affect my summer rentals..

A couch, few chairs, scatter pillows here and there, some plants and other decorative pieces.

East Garfield is similar but the high crime spots are more scattered instead of block to block.

How about a floating stepping stone pathway from the car area to the stairs with mulch around and a few green plants scattered about.

Financial maturity has nothing to do with age, if they make enough money to pay bills but just don't due to scatter brained living, that needs to be addressed.

The only difference is I get better prices when the market is bad.I do Buy and Hold, as well as rehabbing, flipping, land development, tax sales, sheriff sales, REOs, scattered lots, and other investing. 

With no feeding occurring, they just find an extremely remote nook or cranny, and hide out until someone comes to sleep there, or until they die of starvation (which would require taking the unit out of service for an entire year...) or scatter (to neighboring units...).

Humorous and well-written (if a little scattered) by that poor LL.  

You pay the rent or your gone.It's that simple.Even if a property is paid for many landlords stress they have to pay the bank and that gets tenants to pay up.Sometimes not filing eviction but putting the paper on the door will get them to pay.Professional tenants will check at the court house to see if you actually filed.Usually the judge will set up a payment plan to pay some each month on the back rent along with regular rent to catch up.That is usually cheaper for a landlord then them moving and having to recondition and lose rental income waiting for lease up again.If you start going soft that is when the knife goes in the back.When landlords get burned out form doing it for years they start to get mentally drained and let things start sliding.Doesn't matter if you have a 2 unit,20 unit,60 unit apartment or own 10 houses scattered about.If you start to let things slide then tenants talk especially if you are renting other properties to their friends or family.They will talk to each other and start testing the waters coming up with only have the rent or an excuse for no rent etc.

In that area it's scattered, but the Almond st, Ellis st, and locust st, is more lower end properties in my opinion.
